“Health care fraud and abuse of benefit plans are issues that insurers take seriously,” says Joan Weir, director, Health and Disability Policy, Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA). “Canadian health insurers continue to make significant investments in technology, skilled staff and awareness initiatives to mitigate health care fraud.”
